The Brazil edit

We pay homage to everything there is to love about Brazil as Rio gets set to host the world's most epic sporting festival!

It seems like only yesterday that the Queen and James Bond jumped out of a helicopter to launch the London Olympics. Where on earth did four years go?

Now it's Rio's turn to host the world's most epic sporting festival. The Brazilian seaside city - famed for its Copacabana beach, Christ the Redeemer statue and Mardi Gras Carnival - shared the limelight when the football World Cup crossed the Atlantic two years ago. Now it's ready to take centre stage...

Join us as we gear up for all the track and field action by paying homage to the country of Ayrton Senna, Paulo Coelho, beautiful football, the Amazon and so much more!
